IBM DS (LSI) Disk Arrays (smcli) Enterprise
Description
This connector enables hardware monitoring for IBM DS storage systems through the SMCli utility.
This connector is superseded by:
- DellMD3000[2]
Target
Typical platforms: IBM DS3000 IBM DS4000 IBM DS5000
Operating system: Storage System
Prerequisites
Leverages: The SMcli utility, which is part of IBM DS Storage Manager. The version must be compatible with the system being monitored. Multiple versions of SMcli on the same system is not supported.
Technology and protocols: Command Lines
This connector requires advanced privileges on the managed host for the command below:
Second_Address
This connector therefore needs to run as root or you need to configure a privilege-escalation mechanism like sudo
on the managed host to allow the monitoring account to run the command listed above.
Sample of /etc/sudoers to allow the above command to be run as root by the metricshub account:
metricshub ALL=(root) NOPASSWD: Second_Address
This connector is not available for the local host (it is applicable to remote hosts only).
Examples
CLI
metricshub HOSTNAME -t storage -c +smcli --ssh -u USER --sudo-command-list Second_Address
metricshub.yaml
